1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

aimTo determine the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of the primary Sjögren syndrome (SS) related optic neuritis.

methodsThe clinical data of 8 patients (12 eyes) with primary SS related optic neuritis were analyzed retrospectively.

resultsEight of 128 consecutive patients with optic neuritis resulted from varied causes fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for the primary SS. They presented initially with the signs and symptoms of non-specific optic neuritis, and 5 patients presenting without dryness showed a chronic inflammation of submandibular gland or parotid gland, and lymphocyte infiltration was demonstrated by labial gland biopsy in 2 patients. There were serum positive titers for anti-Sjögren syndrome A (SSA) in 7 patients and anti-Sjögren syndrome B (SSB) in 8 patients. Anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody was negative in all the 8 patients. Both glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agent were administered, and visual acuity elevated in 8 eyes (66.7%), 3 patients (37.5%) recurred in the follow-up.

conclusionPrimary SS related optic neuritis is less common and easily misdiagnosed. The conventional therapies for optic neuritis could not control the recurrence.
